Hi,

I need some assistance from anyone who can provide it.

I wish to tar, my entire root file system, and make the tar file create on another box via ssh.

I am booted into the Live-disk, ATM.

Any suggestions?

If you have any, let me know.

My idea was: to mount the root file system under something like:

/mnt/grmlSystem.

Then:

tar czpf - /mnt/grmlSystem | ssh box@remotebox cat > Grml.tar.gz

Would this work?

If I have made an syntax error, please correct it, or something.

I don ot wish, nor will I use slash exclude, as grml itself won't be running physically on the drive in question.

Regards,

-Keith
